How to keep your Android and iPhone in sync

We live a fast life. And a busy one! It is not unusual for someone to have several cell phones and tablets with them all the time. One can use iPhone as a personal mobile device, and Android phone and tablet for corporate purposes. Keeping all these devices with all different operating systems in sync is an important but not an easy task.

And since there is no native sync option between iOS and Android available, you will need a third-party app to sync them. That’s where SyncMate will assist.
